Ah - what a shame. We haven't had one of these for a while, have we (far as I've noticed)?

It certainly was pretty tiresome - yet he had one or two things to contribute if he could have calmed down a bit.

Oh well: thanks Brad.

Cheers - C

He was posting a post and then hitting the submit button 10 or more times to run up his post counts. It's called flooding the forum and is definitely against the rules and annoying to boot! :roll:

...and what's the point of going out of your way to run up your post count? So you can earn more "pick" icons? So you "cooler" or something? Kids!!!

Yeah, the guy flooded a number of threads and in one case submitted something ludicrous like 165 identical responses to one post -- since we don't have things automated to quite the degree they should be (note to self: automate things to the degree they should be :-) ) that would have required nearly two hours of my time to clean up. I've got better things to do with my time so I've elected to leave most of his posts up, so unfortunately even now post-ban he's managing to waste visitors' time on still-active threads and forcing them to rifle through page after page of meaningless posts. Frequently I'm happy to give folks a second chance but then there are blatant cases of abuse and intentional troublemaking and this definitely falls into that category.
